the first hair cut. three years and many tangles later she has finally decided that it was ok for us to cut her hair. after countless mornings of brushing out lengthy curls and troublesome braids she was ready. it was a lot easier for her to rid herself of the hair that has grown since birth. for us? not so much. her baby curls are gone, her chubby cheeks are fading and we are counting the days till her baby fat is gone. our second child is just that now, a child. no longer is she our baby.
